0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The Conseil départemental de l'Orne operates as the official government body for the Orne department in Normandy, France. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and stakeholders, offering news, public services, administrative procedures, and cultural information. It holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for regional government information and services. The digital infrastructure is built on Drupal 10, integrating modern web technologies and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo). The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, reCAPTCHA v3 on forms, and cookie consent management, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but is likely due to AFNIC policies or privacy protections. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and safe for general audiences.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website targets residents and public service users within the Orne department, providing a wide range of services including social aid, employment offers, cultural events, and environmental information. The business model is public sector service delivery, funded by government budgets. The site leverages partnerships with regional tourism and employment platforms. Its content quality and branding consistency support strong user trust and engagement. The presence on multiple social media platforms enhances outreach and community interaction. Growth indicators include active news updates and participatory agendas. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital services and compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is managed via tarteaucitron.js, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that should be addressed to harden defenses against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness communication. Implementing a security.txt file and publishing a dedicated security policy would enhance trust and incident management capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide official domain registration verification to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. It uses JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet for mapping, FancyBox for media display, and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently, though performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting diverse user needs. The use of reCAPTCHA v3 and cookie consent scripts indicates attention to security and privacy compliance. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of AFNIC WHOIS server references suggests French hosting or domain management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for security header enhancements and performance tuning.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
